Luca Bosio Moscato d’Asti has a lot going for it. The wine whirls across the palate with the grace and delicacy of a vinous tutu as its floral and fruity flavors are lifted by delicate yet invigorating bubbles. Lively acidity balancing the fruit’s forward sweetness is the secret to this frizzante’s versatility, which makes it a wine that is lovely on its own, and one that is also surprisingly versatile at the table. Try it with fruit salads as well as salty/meaty foods such as cheeses and cold cuts (it’s a terrific choice to serve for brunch). The low alcohol content (5.5%) is another thing in its favor.
